The best hands free breast pump money can buy. It has a quiet motor so you don’t wake up the whole house while pumping. The suction is incredible for something not being plugged into the wall, and the pieces are pretty easy to clean.

I thought this was unnecessary the first time I saw it. But if you want to get in and out of the car quickly, go on little walks without waking baby up, or run into the store this is perfect. Life changing actually 😆
